Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

D2x(70-200VR) + 5 mates from school days + 2 awesome jetskis = so much fun

A planned wipeout:
(will need your monitor to be on max brightness to see the detail in the dark sections, exposed to keep detail in whites)

I love the shots, but I think it needs some framing around the images.

Great action!

There was a lot of water around there for a D2X and VR. Did you have any sort housing or just feeling supremely brave :?:

Awesome stuff Heath, nice idea well executed.

Now then, if you shot in NEF, do the shots again but this time copy the same image and bump the stop up a bit and layer it over the white water and voilah!!, you can see the dark bits without overexposing the bright whites.

Fantastic sequence. I love the arrested motion, drama and impact of the central image.

Nice shots Heath. Really shows off the gattling gun power of the D2X and its ability to render sharply action sequence with memories. :)
cheers

I really like this sequence and well not sure if we have had a sequence as POTW before but I'd say its a good candidate, among many others.

I reckon these shots are good enough to sell if you have any contacts in the magazine/publishing industry.
